Global IFMA Innovation Award Winner
The Symantec Water Misting System at the EON Center
in India was awarded the Global IFMA Innovation Award.
The Global Innovation Award annually recognises the
most cutting-edge, advanced, and original product
offerings and/or marketing strategies.
The Cushman & Wakefield team proposed the Water
Misting System to augment the plant’s cooling
system, in extraordinarily hot temperatures. It was
also developed as an Energy Saving Initiative which
will benefit Symantec on Kwh units savings and GHGE
emission targets. With advanced technology and proper
installation, the system can cool almost any area by
as much as 25-30 degrees without causing any water
damage.
The cooling power of Mist Systems is based on the
process of atomising water droplets to a size 5 to 10
micron that can quickly evaporate when coming in
contact with hot/dry air and resulting in cooling of
up to 12 degree C. Water is forced through a specially
designed high pressure nozzle to create an ultra-fine
fog that rapidly absorbs heat and cools surrounding air
as it evaporates. With advanced technology and proper
installation, the system can cool almost any area by
as much as 25 to 30 degrees without getting anyone
wet. This is possible because the system is capable
of producing such fine mist droplets that evaporation
occurs almost instantly, even in the most humid
environments. By misting we are trying uniformity in an
outdoor environment that we get in monsoon/winter
and support higher performance / efficiency from the
cooling system.
